Makeshift mysticism

Transfiguration on all fours.

Running on all fours has always been a fascination of mine. I pursued fluidity to where I would outrun a walking pace. The dark figure in frame coincidentally walking behind me became an anchor point in this pursuit.

Dreams were a key to finetuning the technique. I practiced the finer details of the locomotion while asleep. This allowed me to turn off gravity and slow down time and master this quadrupedal tread.

Performing in public space allows the surroundings to co-create the happening. The people around me become both witness and performer. Playing outside alleviates me from the dull illusion of total control.
